[quote=Anonymous]I would talk with her pediatrician and see what he/she says. It is quite normal for periods for teens to take some time to "settle in". However, the vomiting and bad cramps are not necessarily normal. It may be nothing, but I'm sure it's not fun for your DD. There may be some solution that may or may not include going on the pill. See what the doctor says. You may end up at a gynecologist before you'd expect, but get a recommendation for one who is used to working with teenagers and your DD will be fine. My DD had difficult periods and was eventually diagnosed with poly cystic ovarian syndrome. She started seeing a gynecologist, but she didn't have a pelvic exam until she was sexually active (she's much older than your DD...!). Now, this could be because she was diagnosed with a sonogram...not sure if a pelvic exam would be required if something else is suspected.

Good luck and remember that you want to make her more comfortable. Miserable periods are really rough on teenagers.[/quote]
